Worth the space

One of the reasons I carry such a large, back-breaking bag is so I can always have my book close at hand. I read. A lot. I would be lost without the library–I probably pick up new books every week or so. I stopped buying fiction books ages ago, mainly because my apartment has very limited storage (just a cubby under the window) and I don’t want to waste space on books I most likely won’t ever read again. It was a hard and painful process, but I edited my collection down to ones I love-not-like, ones that inspire me and will still be reaching for years from now.
